Introducing Community, a new boutique opening tonight, next to The ARTS at Marks Garage in the space formerly occupied by Super Citizen. Inside, you'll find a mix of stylish, yet comfortable apparel, swimwear, accessories and jewelry from local and mainland designers.

If you haven't already done so, introduce yourself to Organik's eco-friendly line of locally-designed tees, dresses and hoodies, and shake hands with Angry Lady Bug's hand-sewn pillows, iPad cases and Aloha shirts made out of vintage kimono fabric.

Round out the party with tribal FEED pouches, fun slippers by Havaianas and susu, Rfavela jewelry, and an entire table full of Ola skincare products, Stila makeup palettes and colorful Butter London nail polish.

This impressive guest list is put together by owners Julie Waters and Jennifer Sheridan, who, after more then 15 years as sales representatives, are well-connected with Hawaii's fashion industry. In fact, they're already working with up-and-coming local designers to host special launches, custom displays and showcases.

So consider this your VIP invite.

And let's get this party started.

Community Boutique, 22 S. Pauahi St., will be open tonight from 5:30-8:30 p.m. for a First Friday soft opening with pupu and cocktails. For more information, call (808) 523-0001.
